Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 942,095, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 942,095 | |
| -1 | -942,095 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 942,095.
Example:
1 x 942,095 = 942,095
and
-1 x -942,095 = 942,095
Notice both answers equal 942,095
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 942,095 and divide it by 2:
942,095 ÷ 2 = 471,047.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 471,047.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 942,095 | |
| -1 | -942,095 |
Now, we try dividing 942,095 by 3:
942,095 ÷ 3 = 314,031.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 314,031.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 942,095 | |
| -1 | -942,095 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
942,095 ÷ 4 = 235,523.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 235,523.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 942,095 | |
| -1 | 942,095 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 11 | 35 | 55 | 77 | 385 | 2,447 | 12,235 | 17,129 | 26,917 | 85,645 | 134,585 | 188,419 | 942,095 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -11 | -35 | -55 | -77 | -385 | -2,447 | -12,235 | -17,129 | -26,917 | -85,645 | -134,585 | -188,419 | -942,095 |
